According to the reports, the owners of the resort bought the land in 2005 and attempted to start farming.
However, when they realized that crops were not growing due to the type of soil around the hills, they decided to develop it.
They also denied that their resort was an eyesore.
“Sila lang po ang nagsasabi na nakakasira, pero kapag nandito po kayo sa area namin, talagang hindi po eh,” she said.
